Step Back in Time in Alba, Missouri

Escape to a simpler time in this cozy 1920s-inspired retreat in the heart of Alba, Missouri. This charming suite combines historic character with modern comforts, featuring an original exposed brick wall dating back to the 1890s, historical photographs of the local area, and carefully chosen vintage décor.

Whether you’re visiting the Joplin area, exploring historic Route 66, enjoying a weekend at the brewery next door, or simply looking for a quiet place to unwind, this little retreat offers a unique stay you won’t find at a typical hotel.

* Brewery Next Door

You’ll be staying at Bricktown B N Bs, a collection of four unique vacation rentals located next door to award-winning Beard Engine Brewing Co.

The brewery is open Friday–Sunday, making it an especially fun option for a weekend getaway. Enjoy a craft beer just steps from your accommodations!

* About the Space

This is one of four individual vacation rental units located inside our fully brick building. The building also includes our personal office space and a soon-to-open restaurant.

The suite is cozy and designed especially well for shorter stays and weekend getaways. If you’re planning an extended stay and would prefer more space, take a look at our larger Pink Cadillac or Hotel California suites.

Please note: Bedding may vary depending on same-day turnovers.

* A Quiet Small-Town Location

Alba is a tiny Missouri community outside the city limits, and that’s part of what makes this property special to us. Alba is our hometown, and we chose this location because we love its peaceful, small-town atmosphere.

You’ll be away from highway traffic and busy city noise while still being close enough to reach the area’s larger communities quickly.

We’re approximately 15 minutes from Joplin, Carthage, and the historic Route 66 corridor.

If you’re looking for a quiet place to relax and recharge after a day of exploring, Alba offers a slower pace that can be hard to find elsewhere.
